2-Nitroresorcinol → 2-Aminoresorcinol

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Nitroresorcinol (1.00 g, 6.45 mmol) was dissolved in ethanol (10 mL). The solution was then stirred for 6 hours at room temperature in the presence of 10% Pd/C (340 mg, 0.32 mmol) under hydrogen gas atmosphere. Insolubles were removed by filtration, and the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure, to give 779 mg (yield 97%) of the desired compound in the form of a brown crystalline product.
